City Hall and the adjacent City Hall Annexe have been using generators to maintain operations in critical areas.
City Hall has been plunged into darkness for two days after Kenya Power #ticker:KPLC cut electricity connection over a Sh990 million debt.
City Hall and the adjacent City Hall Annexe have been using generators to maintain operations in critical areas.
County secretary Peter Kariuki termed the disconnection “an act of bad faith”.
“Yesterday, June 5, Kenya Power disconnected electricity to City Hall and City Hall Annexe despite a joint task force sitting to establish the level of debt between us and was about to conclude its work and make recommendations,” said Mr Kariuki.
He said a team from the county Wednesday reached out to the company to find an amicable solution to the matter but the management insisted that the county pays some money first before talks resume and electricity is re-connected.
“We have responded by reminding them of the over Sh800 million they owe us but as a gesture of good faith, we have offered to pay Sh15 million now and the balance in realistic instalments until the figure finally agreed upon is settled,” he said.
Mr Kariuki said of the Sh990 million debt claimed by Kenya Power, the county disputes Sh543 million and out of the balance of Sh447 million, only recognises Sh215 million obtained from actual meter readings expressing reservations with the balance of Sh232 million which he claims are based on estimated readings.
